Don't quite understand the bad reviews of this hotel!! It's a 2 star rated hotel so you wouldn't expect the best!! It's approximately 2 miles from Ascot so a short car journey or taxi if you wanted to go there. There is also a good pub which serves food on one side and a bar on the other wihin 5 minutes walk from the Hotel.

The Hotel itself looks ok, the rooms are large and spacious and clean. The toilet and showers could to with new tiles but that's the worst part. Everything else if good.

My only critiscism is the price, £65 per night for a double room is expensive but overall the hotel isn't bad!!

Guy on the desk,didn"t look like he wanted to be there!!!! Bar not open at all??? room was dirty and shabby,everything was out of date and gruubby!!! And to top the lot we had to bang the door at 8pm in the evening to get in as both keys did not work!!! Skip b/fast as could not stomach the place any longer?!!!

I stayed here for one night as my self and friends were going to a BBQ in the area with another friend. It cost £71 for the room with Full breakfast for 2 . The standard is described as 2* but I think in its present state it would not get that, the rooms are very basic with poor decor, woodchip wallpaper which is showing its age and poor quality bedding. Over all the room was fairly clean, but just 1970's in decor. The room (no.2) was on the ground floor overlooking the car park in front, none of the windows had net curtains or blinds therefore you had to keep the curtains closed the whole time and this included the toilet which had a window which looked into the foyer through clear glass, not quite as private as you would like, unless you a are bit of an exhorbisionist. Breakfast was average and again the decor of the restaraunt area was very tired. Overall I would not stay there again, had the price been £40 yes I would stay for one night, but for £70 go to a Travelodge

I spent a night at the Highclere Hotel and had a twin room. On arrival i asked the receptionist if they could accommodate a few more people in our room, she said this was not a problem and that we would be charged an extra £20.00 and would we like some extra mattresses. We agreed to this extra charge and then stated that we did not need any breakfast. The next day on check out, we found we had been charged for three breakfasts that we never had and when we left received a phone call from the manager stating that he was going to charge us an extra £69 for the extra occupancy. When we explained that the receptionist said it would only cost an extra £20 he claimed that she was new and spoke little English. He then withdrew £71 from my bank account with authorisation. I am currently pursuing this and will sue if needs be. It should not be the customers fault that the hotel leaves people in charge that cannot understand English!!! I would never recommend going back here unless you want to be charged over the odds!!!!!!!!!
